Consumer Description
I have a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5t Sport. It has 113,000 miles on it. And I took it in for a diagnosis due to an inspection made by Walmart and I was told by the Honda dealership I have a blown head gasket. After much research and discovery, I found out this is a common and typical issue with this model car and that Honda corporation knows about it but refuses to issue a recall. I never experienced any warnings, car never ran hot or overheated. There was never any indication that the head gasket was an issue. Now that they have determined this, they are telling me because it is out of warranty it will not be covered and I am responsible for the $3000 charge to fix the head gasket. This is very upsetting being that Honda is very aware of the situation and seem to care less about the safety of their vehicle owners and the terrible situation that this puts their customers in.
